Converting from Gigabecquerel (GBq) to Becquerel (Bq) in Radioactivity

What is Gigabecquerel (GBq)

Gigabecquerel (GBq) is a unit of radioactivity measurement equal to one billion becquerels. It is typically used to quantify the amount of radioactive material present in a sample or substance.

What is Becquerel (Bq)

Becquerel (Bq) is the SI-derived unit of radioactivity named after Antoine Henri Becquerel, the discoverer of radioactivity. One becquerel is equal to one radioactive decay event per second.
